Client Feedback

"I am extremely pleased with the service and professionalism from CKTax. Cynthia Kuhne helped me negotiate a $30,000 tax debt from three years of back taxes to a reasonable amount of $4,000. She dealt with the pushy IRS agents, so I didn't have to lose my peace of mind knowing she had it under control. She was polite and answered all the questions I had about what was going on."

"We got behind on our taxes and ended up owing the IRS over $20,000. We felt the financial pressure of having this debt and didn't see any way we would be able to pay them in a timely manner. We consulted with CKTax and found we qualified for an Offer In Compromise. They took care of everything. We never had to talk with the IRS once. The IRS settled our debt of over $20,000 for $500!!"

"I found CKTax online. Cynthia counseled me in what to do, how to do it, and worked with the IRS to put holds on the penalties and interest. She negotiated me time to gather my reporting data so the IRS could not use liens or other measures. I was pleasantly surprised with the level of service and the attentiveness to my needs. My delinquent tax returns were completed quickly and very efficiently."
